Roof Damage Guide for Homeowners and Property Managers

Dealing with Roof Damage After a January Storm: What to do if your roof gets damaged

A winter storm can significantly impact the structural integrity of your roof, and when a tree falls on your property, acting swiftly and correctly is crucial. Here, we offer guidance for homeowners, landlords, and property management companies on how to manage such situations and what to consider when choosing a roof repair company in Hertfordshire.

Additionally, we highlight how drone operators can facilitate damage assessment, ensuring peace of mind.

Damaged Roof: Immediate Steps to Take

1. Ensure Safety First: If a tree falls on your roof, evacuate the area immediately. Ensure that everyone is safe and unhurt. Avoid going near the tree or any part of the affected roof until a professional has assessed the damage.
2. Contact Emergency Services: In cases where the tree has disrupted power lines or presents immediate danger, contact your local emergency services for assistance.
3. Document the Damage: Carefully document the extent of the damage by taking photos or videos. This information will be beneficial for insurance purposes and when planning repairs.
4. Secure the Area: If possible, create a temporary cover to prevent further weather damage to the interior of your home until professional help arrives.

Engaging professionals to perform a thorough roof survey is paramount. This is where drone surveying comes into play. At DK Roofing Solutions, our trained drone operators provide:

• Comprehensive Roof Surveys: Using drone surveys for roof repairs, you can gain a complete view of the damage without the need for ladders or scaffolding, resulting in a safer and quicker assessment.

• Convenience and Safety: Utilising drone technology minimises risk to personnel and provides high-resolution data crucial for planning repairs.

 

Choosing a Reliable Roof Repair Company in Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire

When selecting a roofing company, consider the following to ensure you receive the best service:

• Experience and Reputation: Choose a roofing company with a proven track record and strong testimonials from satisfied customers. Better still ask to speak to previous clients for their feedback
• Licensing and Insurance: Ensure that the company is fully licensed and insured, safeguarding you against any liabilities during roof repairs.
• Comprehensive Services: Opt for a company offering a full range of services, from roof inspections and repairs to the utilisation of drone surveys for thorough damage assessment.
• Availability: Given the urgency of roof repairs after a storm, it would be best to choose a company that can respond quickly and offer timely solutions. However you also need to consider ‘quality’ of work before ‘speed’.
